Sleep well!

Before going to sleep, we thank the Lord for His immense love. He watches lovingly over us at night and doesn’t move from our side. He protects us under His wings and His light shines on us so we can fear no darkness.

But the Lord also speaks to us and guides us during the night. Maybe, like Samuel, Joseph or many others in the Bible, we should wait for the peacefulness of the night to hear what the Lord wants to tell us.

Amid the storms of life, I hope that the Lord gives you rest as calm and confident as Jesus had in the boat rocked by the waves of Lake Galilee.

Toni, the sleepy-head

Hi Friends of Jesus!

This is the first series on Jesus’ friends. We’ve chosen to start with Peter because he was one of his best friends.

The Bible tells us so many things about their relationship that one series simply isn’t enough to fit them all in. We’ll bring out another series during Lent on the things Peter did and said at the time of the Passion and Jesus’ resurrection. And later on we might even have one on the letters he wrote.

Peter was full of enthusiasm and love for Jesus – so much so that sometimes Jesus even had to tell him off, as you’ll see!

Do you like questions?

Jesus did. In fact, you can find over 300 questions in the Gospels!

That’s why Children’s Bible Daily Prayer doesn’t offer any answers; we simply ask questions.

This is the first series on Jesus’ questions, but there’ll be plenty more!

Jesus’ questions change us because they make us search for answers by thinking deeply and praying.

Hello Friends of the Bible,

In the first series, “Children of the New Testament”, we prayed with the Gospel passages about children in general. In this series, you’ll find prayers about specific people from the Bible when they were children: from Isaac to Jesus.

They talk about children’s relationship with the Lord and with their parents. They are brimming with love between people and with God.

We prepared this edition so you can look at the Bible stories with your children and pupils in greater depth.

The texts in this book, the comics and films are mutually enriching and complementary. Each story is accompanied by a photograph. Half-poetry, half-enigma, this photograph should serve as an excuse to spark a conversation with the children. The image poses questions that can lead you to reread the text in search of the answers.

One Blessing after Another!

The Prologue to the Gospel of John is one of the most poetic and profound passages in the whole Bible. Since you are already following the Gospel passages about the birth of Jesus with the “Children’s Bible Advent Calendar”, I thought that praying with the Prologue to the Gospel of John would be a good way to get ready for the coming of the Lord.

I’ve put together a series of questions so you can work on these prayers: some link the text to other Bible passages and others are designed to make you think.

I hope you find them useful for discussion and prayer.

Blessed are you among women!

When Mary was pregnant with Jesus she went to help her cousin Elizabeth, who was also expecting a baby. When Elisabeth saw her, she said ”Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfil his promises to her” (Luke 1:45). The Canticle of Mary or Magnificat is Mary’s reply.

Over the centuries, Christians have prayed with the Magnificat. Still today, Christians all over the world join together in a single voice to sing it. I hope that the Magnificat inspires your prayers during Advent as we await the birth of the Saviour.

The prophets had been talking of Jesus since ancient times.

In this series you can read and pray with Bible passages announcing his coming. They say that Jesus is the light against darkness, the sun that shines on us and makes us see everything anew.

He is the king that rules over us like a shepherd to bring us peace and justice.

We suggest you follow up the daily prayer with the drawings and Bible passages in the Children’s Bible Advent Calendar app. You can download it for free at the App Store. Light a new candle every day!
